Madam Saje, Kanayo O. Kanayo to Receive Lifetime Achievement Awards at 2024 BON Awards

Veteran actors Madam Saje and Kanayo O. Kanayo will be honored with ‘Lifetime Achievement’ awards at the 2024 Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards.

The announcement was made by BON Awards founder, Seun Oloketuyi, who emphasized the importance of recognizing these legends while they are still alive.

In his statement, Oloketuyi noted, “Why must we wait until our movie heroes have passed to give them awards? Posthumous awards have their place, but it’s more meaningful when the recipients can accept them in person.”
